CSV is convenient if you have flat data, containing one-to-one relations, not the thing you will expect with stars.

Not?

player relations (as an NxN grid)
Deal

planet stats (original and current)
Deal

production Qs (if you treat them like strings of orders)
Deal

ship designs (if you treat them like strings of components)
Deal

fleet data (including their strings of orders)
Deal

battle reports (if you treat them like strings of events)
Deal

tech levels (including one 'status' column with values such as 'current' and 'next')
Deal

item, engine and hull definitions
Deal

scores history
Deal

race definitions (if you treat them like strings of options)
Deal

initial techs and ships
Deal

perhaps even turn orders too.

In fact, I'd dare say current Stars! has most everything as flat arrays with a few relationships (not necessarily one-to-one) between them. Deal

XML is more flexible - you can add elements here and there, perfect feature for an actively developed project.

Indeed.

But it can also be overkill.

So among textual formats I think XML is pretty nice choice.

It's not a bad choice. But it might not be the only choice. Deal

So many Stars, so few Missiles!

In space no one can hear you scheme! Deal
